🇺🇸USAAdvanced

Soups

Chili

Chili con carne is a thick, spicy stew of beef, red beans and tomatoes seasoned with cumin, paprika and hot chili. Despite the Spanish name it comes from Texas, where it has been the official state dish since 1977, and belongs to Tex-Mex cooking rather than to Mexico. It warms and fills, which makes it food for the cold season.
